i can’t stop playing storm
what is wrong with me? alternative question: how do i make a shitty character good?
well yes
So I find myself torn between teams, I run Modok/Dorm/Doom, Dante/Frank/Deadpool and lately Zero/Morri/Doom. I really like Modok, I think he is great, has very good tools, but find that I have to work stupid hard with him and have been thinking about switching him out for Magneto. I also really like frank but feel like he can be a bit of a liability, if shit hits the fan he just cannot fight back against a strong zoner unless he is already leveled up. And finally I love what the zero morridoom team does to opponents but it feels stupid and easy and lazy as shit.
So all of that said, what do you think? Waffles or Pancakes, which is better? I think waffles are way better at holding syrup, but pancakes are easier to butter.
Synergy with a team will make bad chars good. Tron with beam assist is actually pretty decent, tron is not decent though. Utilize assists and setups to squeeze out damage from your char.
zero morridoom is the best team your playing, its extremely good atm especially since everyone is retarded so you exploit that with the team. If you really want to play a modok team I would suggest modok/frank/mag. Find some synergy with leveling up frank with modok and your good to go (maybe wall bounce raw tag near end of combo) You get disruptor assist and balloon bomb for shenanigans, dont have to worry about being alone with frank very much, anchor mag.
yo waffles all day, I look like an epileptic welsh fisherman trying to eat pancakes man. I need dat crispy, plus powdered sugar is awesome.
Haha thanks, I was half joking about the first part, but that is decent feedback. I have been thinking about Modok/Dorm/Mags as well as a possibility. I really like starting Modok cause he can just ignore that whole opening gambit bs, I also rather dig dorm and love him with a strong beam behind him.
And I am straight up with you on waffles, pancakes are just lazy ass waffles that can’t be bothered to contain the syrup!
I want to pick a new team to make my friends rage. Any suggestions on rage-inducing lamest of the lame team?
making friends rage is easy here is a few teams plus strats
low tier hero: If they aren’t the best use like hsienko/wright/wesker and when you comeback with wesker claim they suck bc they lost to a hsienko/wright team, and that they are tier whoring.
zoning: hawk/hulk/strange run anti air gamma charge and bolts assists, zone with bolts and arrows, when they get close call hulk and trick shot across screen (or wave dash). save xfactor for strange so if you see them press a button just book xfc into kill combo.
morrigan/doom/arthur, do the typical morridoom strat of turning the game into a platformer and end it with lvl xfc 3 arthur infinites. Plus daggers help rushdown with shell kick and foot dive.
remember to keep reminding them that zoning is actually really hard nad the fact that they cant beat it means they suck
Yo you watch any proffessional wrestling shows?
nope
Thoughts on Rocket Raccoon?
Ok how about this, what’s your thought about comeback mechanics ( x factor, rage/netsu, pandora, ultras )
I’ve actually posted a thread about this in the sfxt group about pandora being a stupid or genius idea, but I just wanna ask you about comebacks in general
Rocket is simultaniously underrated and overrated at the same time. He is a weird char to explain his “goodness” since he has a lot of tools and a lot of system mechanics in his favor (size). But play rocket for one month and you realize hes not that good.
Log trap is really variable in its uses, but the start of the hitbox being invisible still mindfucks me, so there are definate uses to it. Plus you get a full hitconfirm off of it hitting. I actually prefer his double shot assist since it acts like two sonic booms and allows you to apply pressure for long periods of time safely plus allows for multiple mixups. The problem with the assist is that it has low durability on the shots and they take awhile to get out.
On point he can do self unblockables and a flurry of overheads to open people up easily. Problem is if they are not in the corner you are doing no damage, and if you can’t boulder loop then you are doing the same midscreen damage. His trap super is really good defensively since it just stops ALL rushdown immediately, but if you don’t have meter you are boned when you get rushed down.
He is basically a shittier version of storm but has better assists. Best thing about him is his size.
Honzo, just curious your thoughts on your team, but with Doom running Plasma Beam. Missiles Task is what attracted me to your game back in early vanilla, and now that Ive arrived at Task as my xxx Doom Ammy point, I once again find myself playing your team! (both games I stole 2 of ur characters, then arrived at your 3rd on my own. Yay) Anyway, I def dig it with missiles, but have been experimenting with both. Do you find missiles strictly theoretically better? or just a matter of preference in being able to zone? I default with missiles, but really enjoy it both ways.
I’ve also been playin a ton of Task Ammy Akuma. Love Doom, but god damn is tatsu good for Task! I’d say “you should try it,” but Im sure you have. Lots, probably. Lately you could pretty much shuffle Task, Doom, Ammy, and Akuma and pick any 3 in almost any order and that’s what Ive been playing lol Even Akuma on point w/ missiles and Cold Star is mad fun.
Oh and lastly, dunno if you ever still run Hawkeye, but was wondering what are some good sequences w/ him to protect a Doom missile call? Like with Task you can SHield Skills xx arrow/S/sting/whatever, or even sometimes jump back M arrow works. For Hawk, seems like a jump triple arrow doesnt quite assure safe missiles the same way. And then you have a good method, once they’re dropping, to bridge the gap into another missile call? Seems like Hawk should be able to do somthing-something-something to flow from missile call to missile call to missile call, but I can’t quite figure it out.
Thanks!!
I am very conflicted. On one hand they are reallly fucking stupid from a competitive aspect, the fact the game provides more tools to the person losing is simply stupid. But I do like that it makes it more accessible for the casuals, because casuals are what keep the gears grinding. If they can balance the comeback factor around the fact that you have ways as a comeptitive player to deal with it, then I think they are fine.
rage is dumb and shouldnt exsist, its just more damage for no reason
pandora is irrelvent since its not a comeback mechanic, its a gimmick used to do more damage in combos imo
Ultras are ok, I like the fact that they give the character a new tool to use in the match, and the dynamics of the match switch once an ultra is obtained. But the people with the good ultras get more play since the game puts a big emphasis on this, so the easier it is to land an ultra the better your char is. So, it does skew balance, but I feel like people just accept it at this point.
Xfactor is broken but a really good idea. I feel like if xfactor had a universal 10% power boost, same speed boost, and same scaling it would actually be really cool. The problem I have with xfactor is the power boost. The fact that a char like wesker whose already balls fast goes super saiyen and can 4 shot you is ridic. Casually though, its a super good mechanic. Anyone can xfactor, its really easy to do. Using it effectively is a bit trickier but anyone can press 4 buttons and go ham. The fact that its an omnipresent mechanic that both players have opens a lot of neat metagames around it. It also makes bad characters good, for example arthur on point is pretty booty, but in lvl 3 xfactor he can chip infinite you from full screen, making him realllllllllly scary. I think they should tone down the power boost to 10% and the only thing that changes is the speed IMO, it would make it way more balanced and still would make it very powerful bc you are not taking away xfactor only combos.
Ok here are my questions:
What can beat out Chris’s Magnum? The only things I know beat it is Golden Lances, two regular lances, and it trades with piecing bolt. What beats this? Also what are Chris’s bad match ups?
When is the Dorm combo and setup video coming out, I know you just started the series, but can you give me a approx. time when it will be ready?
Also about rocket raccoon, what are bad matchups to him, and why are they bad matchups for rocket raccoon?
Also can you upload ranked match gameplay to your youtube at all?
Is this a good team order or do I need to change it around? Some of my teams are as follows:
Felicia/Dorm/Ammy
Haggar/Arthur/Dorm
Dorm/Arthur/Wesker
Tron/Sentinel/Dorm
And finally, if you only choose one, which will it be:
Taskermaster
or
YOUR HAT
That is all my questions for now…
Edit: if you can tell dorm is one of my favorite characters right in UMVC3 with arthur a close second. Please try to keep dorm on those teams please
shittier version of storm… that’s a good one
Word on the street is that one time, someone stole your hat and stomped on it.
Also, more words on the streets, is that TuboWare is going to do this to you at Evo: [media=youtube]-RDBUjNT-m4[/media]
THAT’S RIGHT. I’m comin for you Honzo!! TuboTacklin time!
No questions for you Honzo, but I just want to say, that answer you gave me a few months ago about adjusting to the speed of Marvel has really helped me, and I want to thank you for your help.
Also I encourage you to keep going with the BnB compilation videos. I was just thinking earlier this week that I want to mess around with Ammy, but I couldn’t find go-to combos easily. Your video came out at the right time, and now I have something to work with.
Missiles allow for more damage and better screen control IMO, but plasma beam makes you able to dominate the ground and go as buck wild as you want. It’s really up to your own style, but both have proven to be effective.
I don’t play hawkeye bc hes more dissapointing than gum flavor. If you want a good sequence call doom, jump triple arrow, h, net arrow or srk M/H. You can really just do stuff with hawkeye full screen and he gets free chip on like 90% of the cast, theres no real sequence you should ad lib most of his zoning. does he have something that puts them in situations where they are stuck full screen chip until they die? If they have a bad character yes, if they have any modicum of mobility then no.
chris magnum would prolly lose to mystic sword, no idea though
no just wait
rr prolly has a bad or not really good matchup with 80% of the cast, his spring hyper and his size makes him stand a chance but the fact that he has no practical safe approach solo with the lack of derp normals makes him very hard. Just because hes bad doesn’t mean he can’t win though he has a lot of tools that the rest of the cast doesn’t which makes him unique but if anyone can control any space he is done.
I will hold ye horses
orders are fine switch arthur/wesker on that team though, dark arthur and wesker with daggers is better
hat I can take the 5 minutes it requires to learn zero
this isn’t scare tactics son this is real life! ARF ARF!
